Custom Forms: Page Setup Alert

You need to save a Page Setup with each Custom Form. Without a Page Setup, the form may print inverted (white on black), backwards, and upside-down.

Big Business alerts you when you are attempting to print a Custom Form and the selected printer does not match the Page Setup saved with the Custom Form. Click Yes on the alert, to change the Page Setup for the current print job.


To Set the Page Setup for a Custom Form (permanently):

1. Go to the InfoCenter toolbar, and select the Custom Form tool
2. Select your Custom Form, and click the OK button.
3. Select Page Setup from the File menu (within the Custom Form window)
4. Make necessary changes and click OK.
Changing the Page Setup changes the margins. If objects on your form are outside the new margins, an alert will offer to Automatically Adjust Objects on your form. Click Adjust to accept the adjustment.
5. Select Save from the File menu to save changes.

It is a good habit to always use Save As... when you have changed your Custom Form. If there are any unexpected results with the newly saved form, you can revert to the original.
